Rudy Gobert and Shaquille O’Neal have been going back and forth at each other this week, after ‘Shaq’ shared his brutal opinion on the Timberwolves star.
Rudy Gobert Replies To Shaq
Shaquille O’Neal is no stranger to speaking what’s on his mind and he had some strong words for Rudy Gobert this week, despite the Minnesota star impressing in the NBA recently.
‘Shaq’ didn’t hold back on his thoughts of the French big man, accusing Gobert of not trying hard enough after he earned his latest contract with the Timberwolves.

“It is sad to see someone that has accomplished as much as you did @SHAQ both in sport and business still be triggered by another man’s finances and accomplishments,” Gobert wrote.
